I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
I love Elaine's intro since I'm a fan of the short poem too. In fact, the journal I edit with Karen Neuberg, FIRST LITERARY REVIEW-EAST, takes only short poems (16 lines or fewer). Check it out at www.rulrul.4mg.com.
And thank you again, Terence, for choosing my poem.
